This feels very much like love and happiness through a child/s eyes. It’s the innocence, the excitement, the pure joy of it that comes through.

... I can see you all rolling your eyes at me, you know. Like the video game music commissions I made earlier, this commission was intended more to expand Amy's audience than anything else. "Snow Halation" remains a very popular song in online anime and video game communities, so it's my hope that fans of the song who wouldn't otherwise be aware of Amy's content will watch her reaction video, then check out Amy's other videos and subscribe to her YouTube channel (or maybe even become paying members like us). Although, for the record, yes, I really like this song. My next commission will be from the seventies, I promise.

Sean, I knew nothing about the "Japanese idol" industry, until just now reading about it when checking out the background of this song. How interesting! Is this the answer to where the notion of "American Idol" came from, meaning the public promotion of amateur talent? If so, that puts things in a new light!

Surprisingly,I ended up liking this. On the first play I thought it was Alvin and the Chipmunks but after the pause I listened again and enjoyed the instrumentation. The voices are not my cup of tea but they were better on 2nd listen. I found the strength of this song to be the music.

George: Simon Cowell has talked before about _Pop Idol_ being derived from Japanese singing competition shows, and the show's development happened around the time that the original Japanese _Iron Chef_ TV show was hitting its peak popularity in the west (and we were a few years into the nineties' anime boom). I think it's more likely that the producers of _Pop Idol_ took a more Western approach to the show's development, though, looking at how television influenced the rise of Elvis Presley and the Beatles as both musical giants and pop culture phenomena, and adding the competition aspect from the nascent success of "reality" competition/game shows of the era like _Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?_ and _Survivor_. Even when looking at the "whole package" ideas of Japanese idol groups singing and dancing and acting, even that seems to have been influenced by the Jackson Five. As with other forms of media, though, Japan put its own spin on the concept (remember that the "big eyes" anime thing was very much an interpretation of the look of early Disney animation), and evolved it into something which many would say bears little resemblance to its Western origins. I'm only an amateur pop culture historian, though, so please take these ramblings with more than a few grains of salt.

Thanks, Sean. A whole world I never knew existed. I hadn't heard Simon Cowell's reference. Also, just in my own mind, I had connected the "big eyes" to Margaret (or Walter) Keane.

Female Japanese metal/rock bands with strong visual presentations have taken the world by storm. One must watch a video to really appreciate it like anything from 'Babymetal' or 'Lovebites' Swan Song which creatively incorporates Chopin into the 'Metal" genre.
